As we have learnt,

Hydrogen present in the compound is converted to water vapour which is tested by anhydrous Copper Sulphate. Anhydrous \mathrm{CuSO_4} is colourless which turns blue due to the formation of a complex with water molecules.

\mathrm{CuSO_4 (anhyd.) + 5 H_2O \longrightarrow CuSO_4.5H_2O}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
